This charming and delicious white wine comes from the extreme southwestern edge of Sardinia, where the climate is manifestly Mediterranean, where the rainfall is limited, and where temperatures can range from very high to bitter cold. No matter the weather, Giunco reveals just how delicious Vermentino can be. Assertive and deliciously bold, with tangerine and other citrus fruits as well as distinctive minerality the wine is lovely on its own or as an accompaniment to seafood, chicken or vegetarian dishes. It is a standout companion for tomato-sauced pasta preparations such as Pasta alla Norma.
